Honesty is the best Policy
I am not fond of writing but today,I want to share something with you that is very worthy of telling, As i wake up in the morning,i woke up that day to go to work
and started getting ready like everyday, i am late for 5 or 10 minutes and as soon as
i was late,my legs were moving faster.i used to go to my work by changing three trains.like every day i was sitting in a auto,was looking around and was thinking
that how much people are busy,how much they are in their run,how people are in a hurry, i looked at everyone but didn’t see that childhood happiness on
anyone’s face and day by day i was also becoming like them,perhaps this is called maturity.
anyways,
In the same way the people who were sitting in the auto with me, started giving their fare to the driver to go to get a train for their office ,so what happen
some children come to us and ask for money,actually they are beggers and they usually say like please give some money, there is nothing to eat today.some of them
were small children and some were old people who used to sit there every day to beg,just like every day, they were asking for money as such begging becomes their job as
soon as i came there somehow, I defended myself that i would not have to pay money because i have less money on that day and i ignore them and
was late for the office, by which i was walking very fast and as i saw that people are begging,i doubled my speed .
but ,something happened in such a way that a litle boy came to me begging, i refused him,i said i do not have money today, i will not be able to pay,and started
getting off downstairs just like i convinced him that i could not give money today but i see a truth in that boy’s eyes, that made me feel that
today i have done this wrong thing which i refused him but that boy is not sad he just stare at me starts smiling after tha,the boy goes to beg a girl who is going
to work,just like me and
when i looked back,little boy was not begging her,he was shouting at her calling didi.... didi..., that girl did not listen to him and was trying to run
away thinking that i would have to pay money but when that boy did not stop shouting, that girl looked back at that boy and that boy proved what i saw in his eyes at
that time and he said that your purse is open didi you close your purse or else your money will be stolen & look, you are running away from me ,
but i was calling you because your purse was open and i wanted to help you.The girl thanked him and gave him a broad smile but at that moment I recalled a
book quote written by my maternal uncle ‘the monk of lantau ’ in which he wrote that be a fish in someone’s life..be a lamp ,or a life boat or ladder in someones’s
life and the happiness that i was looking for from so many days, i got that hapiness that day but didn’t understand till yet that who is beggar on that day me or him
but got a strong message that despite being so busy,we must help each other,we must try to become a fish in someone’s life...
salute to his honesty....
